RemoteStart installed, where to tap the WTS ligh

I have the system completely installed, except I don't think I have the wait to start wire tapped into the correct wire. It starts with the remote, but it doesn't wait for the wait to start light to go off.
I have it tapped in to the Orange/black wire on the center plug on the PCM. when I test with my meter. I get 12v when I turn the key forward but only for a second. and the light stays on for 3-20 seconds. Is there a better place to tap this? is this the correct wire. The Remote starter is a ProStart CT-3200.

This must be a mystery wire? I put my multimeter on every wire I could find in the drivers foot well to see if I could fing the wire I'm looking for with no luck. any help would be great.

I'm assuming the truck your referring to is the 2000 in your profile? If so it's the orange/black wire in the top black plug in the center of the firewall in the engine compartment. It is a negative pulse wire.

Any more ?'s ask away.

If you cann't find the wire check to see if your remote starter has a delay setting.

Mine doesn't sense the WTS light, it just delays starting by 20sec everytime its used.

When I did mine I was worried about those statements of "if using the WTS light causes trouble" so I just set mine to a 30-sec delay (which is the longest the WTS light stays on in my neck of the woods). Some times in the summer I wish it would start faster, but I've gotten used to the 30-second delay now.

You should use a diode.
